innovations all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered. u.n. observers in syria suspend their activities over the threat of mounting violence while moscow denies the pentagon's claims that a russian military ships carry weapons and troops to the conflict torn country. the final round of egypt's presidential election underway but many are left disenchanted by the choices before them with no constitution other dissolved parliament. and thousands of italians march against cuts in a row while the euro's future is on the line with greeks set for a key choice between austerity and the single currency. hello this is our six pm in moscow my name's kevin zero in first the u.n.

observer mission in syria suspending its activities because of escalating violence in the country this is the u.s. says it's tracking a russian military cargo ship as it makes its way to syria with weapons and troops reportedly on board moscow's denied the claims but said several ships are ready if needed to protect its syrian place financial is in damascus let's catch up with talk about what's been happening this afternoon first off. tell us a bit more about the u.n. observers decision today what do we know about. well kevin indeed we are hearing from the chief provision mission here in syria that the more interests have suspended all the activities in the country and the main reason for that is an increased violence we've been witnessing in the last few days that posed significant risk for around three hundred more interests here in the country and has actually been impeding their ability to fulfill their here in syria indeed we've been seeing dramatic escalation in the last few days with increased

number of rebel attacks on. syrian army checkpoints at the same time we've been seeing the syrian government has given too much freedom to syrian army to deal with and that has dramatically increased the death toll and civilian casualties in the country and indeed become significantly more dangerous right now for the u.n. observer is to work and to monitor and to report they were sent to syria in mid april to. the implementation of coffee and six point peace plan here in syria the cordon to this to this plan backed cease fire was supposed to take force on april the twelve but we've been seeing an increased number of attacks from both sides and all drizzly there hasn't been no ceasefire with

international officials and u.n. officials both confirming that it hasn't been implemented and both sides have been equally responsible for that well what we are seeing now here in theory is kind of deadlock because as you and. general trust there is no other plan on the table but these six point annan plan is not been implemented. meanwhile we see the most. serious sees to that and is pushing both sides to try to implement this and. is resisting military intervention in syria while the calls for that get louder and louder and this news has come when. we are hearing reports from u.s. military officials that it has completed its own planning for how american troops

would conduct operations against the syrian government so the situation is very tans and of course this news of u.n. observer is now suspended in the. we may expect even further escalation here with syria what about the reports of a russian ship make use where the syria what we know about. but it's work to be. just days after the u.s. state department was to back away after hillary clinton's controversial remarks alleging that attack helicopters were on their way from russia to syria we're hearing new comments from u.s. military officials this time reporters an american news outlets saying that has sent a small contingent of troops to syria the pentagon serves its trek and russian military cargo ships and it is now making its way to syria to a russian naval base there in the city of tire to use and it says that it may

carry it up to seventeen hundred tons of cargo and some three hundred troops were here in from military diplomatic sources in morse code that indeed one of the large landing chiefs of the black sea fleet is on standby there and is ready to be sent to syria in case of military foreign intervention just to protect and to evacuate russian citizens in this poor. but denies that it is right now making its way to the port of tartus. producer there at his move live from syria. but with violence raging in the country many in the international community were quick to put the blame for alleged massacres on assad forces but r.t. spoke to mary and from a christian monetary in syria she told us armed rebels are playing games with the u.n. monitors. we would defer this in the world to follow on to the scene or

to tell you in the native world would end the people as they have seen. carrying out a national hospital in court of arms or blankets after ministry of health screening them to assemble them in was and the second day we have seen the un observers coming to these very mas to be able to see these laws. that was said to. me. those people internationally was then carried them under. and gave them to the opposition close aides use why i'm here for all under possibility two showed them we see there on a story or you end up sort of the. men we don't know who they had the island of position there's many threats each one of those factions are working independently

it's why it's very difficult then you would say add. to the next few minutes china's most ambitious space mission today launches a spacecraft with the first ever female chinese astronaut on board on a mission that's set to see them attempt to dock with their orbiting module we've got more on that ahead. it's a tough decision for egyptians as they vote for the country's next president of the election runoff a choice between muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed mercy or. mubarak's last prime minister the ballot comes after the country's supreme court dissolved parliament and the same fate could know face an assembly appointed early to draft a new constitution thousands of people chose to boycott the vote saying neither candidate represents the ship they were fighting for in last year's revolution to get some more thoughts about what's happening to the thomas mounties need to pay the journalist who's been covering events in north africa is on the line from london there i missed about an gyptian say that the two candidates are an inspiring

prospect for them but who in your view is more likely to win an islamist of a barracks former prime minister as it stands so far this afternoon. well it may sound harsh but to me this election is not about what the egyptian people want it's about what the usa once the out the fact is that the egyptian egypt is run by a military council who was put in power by basically what the u.s. approval last year with the overthrow of mubarak the united states has invested something like one hundred billion dollars in today's dollars. keeping the egyptian military funded and that's because the united states has to keep control of the suez canal a lot of people don't realize that the united states is now a second rate economic power but still the world's superpower militarily and something like two thirds of the world's commerce passes through the suez canal every day of the major trading partners in the world is between ager in europe and it's all passes through the suez canal including all the western energy from the

persian gulf so the united states cannot afford to lose control of the suez canal and this is what this election looks pretty rigged i mean the rules have been changed since the last election and the you know the reality is political power grows out of the barrel of the gun in the egyptian military has the gun and they're being funded to a billion and a half dollars every year by the usa so the united states cannot afford to lose the horn of africa the suez canal and they will do every dirty trick in the book to keep themselves in control of the suez canal and you know whatever happens in this election even if the muslim brotherhood does win the election the military still is going to have power. as you say the new sure of that if you like in the parliament needed a politician or a constitution to define the president's power in place so as not to do that you say it's going to play out anyway in america's favorite america once again. yes because america the day the american loses control of the suez canal is the day

that marks the beginning of the end of us empire if america can't keep control of the trade between asia in europe america is on its way out and america knows this and with the united auto not they know it the suez canal in the horn of africa are the most critically strategic areas in the world today and controlling the suez canal is absolutely essential for the united states they're not going to let some democracy get the way of their control do you think the public are aware of what you say is going on. well you know forty percent of the egyptian public is illiterate i mean six percent are on the internet all this talk about facebook well you know they're watching satellite t.v. hopefully our people get their you know they've on arabic and for the egyptians to watch that at least they're getting the truth from our t.v. but you know i think the egyptians sort of sense that this election is sort of not the way it's supposed to be going and that you know they know that bottom line is you know the explosion that took place last year one sided with a spike in the price of bread sugar and cooking oil that the first major

demonstrators that came on the streets were from the very poorest parts of cairo it wasn't the students in the middle class it was the poor people having a hard time feeding themselves so the rich and egyptian people are really concerned with survival they're not concerned with so much politics it's a question of how they're going to feed their children so what i think that's what they're concerned with what's going to happen in the near future and how is this going to play and now we're going to see more protests. well you know i hope there's going to be more protests i hope there's going to be a real uprising in egypt the reality is that is a man named more sula man the secret minister everyone in the supreme council of armed forces was handpicked by sulu over the last thirty years and he's still behind the scenes pulling the strings he's a go to guy for the cia between the egyptian government the military and israel and this guy is still behind the scenes everyone in the supreme council the armed forces was put in power by sewell a man nobody in the supreme council of the armed forces and noted for their

intelligence independence or ambition they were there because they would not be a threat to mubarak consume and so superman's pulling the strings and we know what his his agenda is his agenda is is looking to the people that have been paying him and his cohorts for the last thirty years and that's the usa so until they they get rid of him and put him in prison a maximum security clean up the military from the colonels on up and actually build a real general people's army that's not going to be able to turn its guns on the egyptian people when they rise up again there's not going to be any change in egypt because the army's got the guns and if the people come on the streets america is going to do something dirty and have them do some big massacre if they have to america is not going to sit back and allow a democracy to come interfere with pax americana that's not the track record thomas monson think if you saw us independent journalist as you are joining us on the line from london. well age of selection is being closely followed by the country's neighbor israel their affairs anti jewish sentiment on the rise since mubarak's state will spike of an islamist kind of it comes to power paula slayer's got that

side of the story for you set a corner ask these words the muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi campaign was launched with a vow that the capital of the arab world will be jerusalem which morsi wanted to liberated six weeks on the contest is as tight as ever with morsi a strong contender to be egypt's next president and his promise is as governessing as ever egypt is committed to international agreements that were signed we including the treaty with israel egypt and should have the right to amend all that is not in their interest to go and make sure the other departments to what it is signed as if it's not warming enough for israel what will happen to the one nine hundred seventy nine peace treaty with egypt big players who've put their weight behind most his presidential bid has been even more bold in the claims of how but the war with israel is in no way something that can be ruled out the clock was always ticking the egyptian street no stranger to empty israel sentiment and despite the worries about stability in the revolution the elections simmering below

the surface is hostility towards israel but that hostility was kept in check during the bike's time. for this building used to house these we need to speak five zero but it's now closed up and make it a sign is rabies fear of what's to come. for egyptians is released publicly and i mean number one the next president will be strong and change the status quo i refuse to continue the relationship mubarak had with israel it must continue to fight. he's a realist the first for us the next president should cut all the relations between us it's a three eighty israelis can no longer ignore i don't think that. anybody should close ones and ignore such rhetoric that's. not only very negative but it is alarming but a muslim brotherhood victory is not a done deal on thursday egypt's constitutional court dissolved the islamize dominated parliament and gave morsi is contender seek the green light to stay in

the race but it's done little to calm israeli fears of an islamist government on its border coalitions of be reduced to zero. but the real problem is to what extent will the brotherhood pursue its goal of trying to destroy israel and kill all of us. way i would actually say that the main security danger to israel today and for the next two years is not iran but the situation in egypt a concern the islamists at least in public and at least for now are trying to downplay i think it will do to make some trouble here but not trouble. you know but maybe israelis are worried because in the ruthless business of politicking easy points are scored by using the jewish state as a punchbag and what israelis fear is that what see today is only a step away from being implemented tomorrow police here r.t.

cairo. because we're closely following developments for you in egypt turkey stay with us for the latest of days and expert analysis from the first post mubarak elections. champion hardline islamist. hated remnants of a tyrannical. grapple to control him. by eighty six. but it's time to come. on. public anger spilled out of the streets of rome this weekend with the taliban's protesting it ever growing cuts and unpopular employment and tax policies is fair the country which is the euro zone's third largest economy could be next in line for a bailout not sisera first been following that rally. thousands of people that stand out here in the what is being in much praise us against the continued austerity

measures that have crippled the country among. my own employment and to my effect employment now cost you my life last year and you had taken a prime minister mario monti coming he was a matter of fact the country's finances but that economic medicine that he perspired has really angered. the large number of people. to this march today the year is in five largest economy has seen its borrowing cost absolutely saw and the impact that that had on people's lives is very significant of course this isn't something we see this year in stone building for a long time you call greece ireland portugal spain spain which is just recently had a bailout the source and a lot of people think it's going to be following in the first that the other

countries had a full state bailout in recent times i remember just a couple of years ago even love that he mentioned the possibility about the year i've ben thing about the end of the year is saying well just a couple of years on and those same people and now very realistically discussing the possibility of the disintegration and the break up of the year is the question that everyone's asking is what now happens next are we close to saying goodbye altogether to the year right how will that impact this country if it is going to be the next disaster there are things. well along is that on greece the greeks gearing up to make one of the most crucial financial decisions in the recent history their future in the euro support before sunday's election said to be divided almost equally between two parties left wing serious strongly opposed to a sturdy and the conservative group new democracy which wants to want to bail out

obligations jacob greaves is in athens. this is really become a two horse race is about two differing schools of thought one of them is backing the waves of us there are two you've already seen which have been growing increasingly popular that means job cuts means cuts to salaries and also means cuts the spending from the government all part of this bailout provided by the e.u. i.m.f. and the euro zone now that has proven increasingly unpopular but still being defended by new democracy now on the other side the fence has to reason out beforehand before the previous elections in may these are seen as quite the outside left radical group now although they're really garnering much more middle ground when it comes that sentiment of opposing this. measures being put in place of opposing what's come before them they say there's been too costly for the greek people in their eyes and in many voters' eyes austerity simply isn't working to dealing with

a mixed bag but one fact remains at present that people in greece are still suffering prosperity and a crippled economy. rocketing unemployment and a crumbling economy are the more widely known symptoms of greece's austerity plan but there are some who have lost something far more time to give up caring for their children simply because they can no longer afford to do so by going to care for six children or we've been through some struggles i'm not only concerned about the future i'm concerned about everyone myself included. if he is part of a charitable program named s.o.'s children this is one of its branches a village of foster but now it's finding itself overwhelmed it's found we seek their help in desperate times our major. source of. income. he's from the private sector not from the greek state.

and. yeah we had the significance of the wood use of money just what kind of grease these children grow up in maine about to be decided as people head to head to the polls so you must be coming here because it's very important for greece to stay in the euro zone in the you were last with i was just there though eight parties exist on the ballot paper for most this is a choice of two competing thoughts the pro bailout vote has been embodied by new democracy a party which is overseeing the country's recent spending and job cuts they view us their tea as a bitter yet unnecessary pill to swallow but not everyone agrees with the. cost of gas leaving the eurozone is estimated to be three trillion euros and this isn't because the eurozone can bear. merging only during may's undecided first

election as a reason has continued to hold ground with this radical rejection of a u. i.m.f. and euro zone impose austerity rightly so for i guess the whole. experiment the but there's the measures it's going to and the fear that. the. perspectives are going to become by the elections others have been far from languishing on the sidelines the far right group golden dawn courting controversy known for racial al and an anti immigration stance they've continued to hold on to a marginal but symbolic percentage of support but their views remain drowned out by the anxiety and challenges that face is wearing nation whoever clinches victory to greece assy athens so much more lined up for you at r.t. dot com a website where today were revealed the toxic fallout from america's agent orange may have spread from vietnam to japan with is that massive caches of there beside

a major milestone what china has done in just the last decade has taken a stepping stone approach to human spaceflight so they went with unmanned launches first and in two thousand and three the first manned launch last year was the first unmanned docking at this space module but china is the third country after russia in the united states to develop human spaceflight and it really looked at the success of russia's program the experience that nasa had to to shape its own independent program they've also just learned from the errors and the successes of those two programs so well you see where you see a long decades long legacy russia and the united states china is really relatively new but they're trying to focus on what they can do. successfully and that will be really unique and tailored to what china hopes to accomplish in space. or will use a brief car bomb explosions rock the iraqi capital is killed at least twenty five
